LONG BEACH >> Gang enforcement activity will continue next fiscal year at the current level of service — but it’s complicated, a police briefing revealed at a Budget Oversight Committee meeting on Tuesday.

While the budget for the year starting Oct. 1 allocates $2.2 million in one-time funding to help pay for one gang sergeant and 10 officers, the positions aren’t actually written into the police spending plan, said Administrative Bureau Chief Braden Phillips.

They haven’t been since 2012, when the budget provided funds for two sergeants and two 20 officers, he explained. The City Council voted last year to use $2.6 million in one-time money for police purposes, mostly to restore half of the gang officers for the current fiscal year.
